  by caveat i mean: there must be situations where your existence might become an existential threat to another’s - in which case it is not so simple as an absolute. we put the cart in front of the horse by relying on ideologies handed to us without scrutinizing them… speak up, yes- but that’s what your opponents are doing when they vehemently disagree with you… hedge these outcomes by knowing better the complexities that underly your claims. godspeed

  yep, takes all kinds.

  ‘you’re right to exist in anyway you find fitting’ there must surely be some caveats here. ‘and that applies to every one american’ what about the rest of the world and other sovereign nations?

  but i agree with you, yes it is very depressing and frustrating that every corner of the internet is being cornered into purity-testing echo chambers. understanding this might lead you to questions like: who benefits from this outcome?

  anyway, i appreciate the work that went into this rant-- its a journey and i hope it was cathartic

  for what its worth, i eat mostly downvotes and i am stronger for it. show your strength by keeping your head up and maintaining composure

  he’ll change his mind if a girl he likes tells him he stinks… is it the ‘because’ he offers that upsets you or the smell he gives off?

  write it down and read it the next day- usually works for me, hope this helps!

  the images didn’t load before-- in any case, tugging heartstrings and showing vulnerability are endearing for a certain audience.

  well probably because you’re looking at pages of fans of kids shows. now, i’m not saying they’re all children, but… i mean…

  if they need to collect and sell my info its paywalled for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Effective Treatment for Opioid Addiction Exists. Why Isn’t It Used More?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “divided into three groups. One received a referral to addiction-treatment services outside the hospital. Another group received a similar referral, along with a brief counseling session at the hospital. And a third group received both the referral and the counseling while also starting on buprenorphine, taken daily as a tablet. After a month, this last cohort was about twice as likely as the other two groups to remain in treatment.”

  … the category that implemented the most support was the most effective, who could’ve guessed… i like how its a white collar guy asking his doctor for something and being granted it… i bet it doesn’t go that way every time-- just a hunch- this buprenorphine is probably not covered by your insurance

  just the perfect time to reach the end of the sample and hit a paywall, thanks nytimes.

  there are so many ways to approach this but i like to see it as decency being reduced to a mask people wear- their true selves come out every now and then. you can subsequently ask what are the conditions for these outbursts? general malaise, exhaustion, pressure, and all the myriad things our moods are vulnerable to.

  this reply is deeply concerning.

  uhh, were you paying attention to the zionist messaging boasting/celebrating/calling for further genocide throughout the last year?

  compose it in midi or some low-bit format, for one. maybe get yourself a copy of mario paint and play around with it for a little while…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did Nvidia stock drop with R1 hype?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  stocks are a confidence game. china showed you can do a lot more with less and i think there was a pretty widely acknowledged awareness that there was already a bubble… now i’m not a fancy economist but this is what i’ve gathered
